There’s going to be a cool lunar eclipse tonight, but will I get to see it? Noooooo!!! Why? Cause these fucking clouds decided to park their fat grey puffy asses over my head and block my view. Gah!! I hope they go away before the eclipse, but they look like rather thick, stubborn clouds. _sigh_ ---

I was thinking the same thing. My only hope is that they thin out and we get a wicked “red moon in clouds” effect. Yeah, right. At 11:30pm EDT let’s all blow to the east as hard as we can. (_snicker_ I said blow hard) ---

What time is the eclipse supposed to be? _after a look outside_ Not that it matters _sigh_. ---

At my location it’s to be at 11:30PM EDT. The clouds have gotten even thicker and darker now. _sigh_☹ ---

You need an instrument rating and an airplane with a bubble canopy. There’s nothing like breaking through the top of a solid cloud layer on a night with a full moon. I imagine watching a lunar eclipse from up there would be awesome. ---

I knew you were trying to look at the eclipse the moment I saw “clouds”. The kids and I were out with popcorn and beverages for about half an hour and saw maybe 2/3 of the shadow. Oh well, at least my daughter was able to teach me a little about astronomy. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fucking-clouds-go-the-fuck-away/175483.md?page=2)
